Title: Trees of the Bible: A Cultural History
Description: In your backyard, within parks, hidden in forests, and along roadways, are local trees related to those mentioned in the Bible. More than 36 trees are mentioned throughout the Old and New Testaments. Some of these trees have relatives living here in the Southeastern United States. There is significant disagreement across time about identification of tree species mentioned in the Bible. In multiple translations from many places using different sources, some authors have reached different conclusions about what specific trees were mentioned in the Bible.
